The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

{A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.} LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

{To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.} Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

{To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.

They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

{A Prayer of David.} Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.

Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
